Live Ebola Map: 2026 Ebola Outbreak Tracker & Live Case Map

Headline figures are the DRC-wide count released 18 August by DRC situation update, relayed by ECDC: 5,208 confirmed and 2,476 deaths in the DRC, with 1,115 recovered and 730 in isolation or hospital. The map and the province breakdown below come from the most recent report to split cases by province, 16 August (WHO AFRO): DRC 5,021 confirmed at that date, being Ituri 4,257 across 28 health zones, North Kivu 607 (12 zones), South Kivu 3 (1 zone), and 154 in Haut-Uélé (139), Tshopo (14) and Bas-Uélé (1) provinces, with 2,378 deaths, 751 patients in isolation. The 187 cases and 98 deaths reported since then have not been attributed to a province by any source, so the map shows fewer cases than the headline. That gap is unassigned, not missing. Plus Uganda 20 (2 deaths; outbreak declared over on 28 July; last confirmed case 21 June, last patient discharged 16 July) and France 1 (a medical humanitarian worker who returned infected from DRC, and the first case reported outside Africa in this outbreak). With 5,208 confirmed cases in the DRC, WHO records this as the largest Ebola outbreak ever documented in the country, and the second-largest anywhere after West Africa in 2014-16. No cumulative suspected-case total is published; the 380 shown is the number of new suspected cases recorded in 24 hours, as of 15 August (the last day INSP published one). Case-fatality rate = 2,478 confirmed deaths ÷ 5,229 confirmed cases ≈ 47%. The headline confirmed cases and deaths above are a national total from a DRC situation update relayed by ECDC on 19 August (data to 18 August): 5,208 confirmed and 2,476 deaths, including 730 hospitalised and 1,115 recovered. It carries no province breakdown, so the map's province pins and per-province health-zone counts still reflect the last WHO AFRO split, dated 16 August (5,021 confirmed, 2,378 deaths across the six provinces), leaving 187 confirmed cases and 98 deaths unassigned to a province until a newer province-level report appears.
